Boy's Book of Pirates (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Boy's Book of Pirates <p>The stories which follow, of New England colonial pirates and a treasure-hunt, are founded upon fact, while the tales of Blackbeard and Misson, the latter a pirate possessed of un expected virtue, are historic. It is a strange glimpse of colonial conditions along our Ar lantic seaboard from New England to Cartha gena that one gains from these moving tales of plunderers of the sea. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
